What script? Oh, I see, you are asked to run a script after installing the rpm. http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux.htm?dl=1®ID=11401 mentions drivers for specific kernels from some distro's. Those drivers are compiled for those kernels and will not work for other kernels. You could try this: ------------------------------------------------------------- If you require another distribution or kernel version, please fill in the Requisition form. Your information will be submitted to a pre-sales consultant who will be pleased to contact you to discuss your commercial and technical requirements. ------------------------------------------------------------- When you click the Diva Server for Linux - Version 7.0 download link it says: ....Diva Server for Linux allows Eicon Diva Server adapters to be used with the Linux operating system for SuSE, Red Hat or generic Linux distribution.... and ....Source level RPM: Build Diva drivers or binary RPM package for custom kernel from source code Kernel 2.6.X Support.... so they suggest it is possible to compile the drivers for the Mandrake kernel you are using. I haven't found any source code but I probably didn't look good enough. If you can't find it either then maybe you should contact their technical support. They offer Linux drivers and some of their software is licenced under the GPL so they seem a Linux and FOSS software friendly company :) Another idea is to post to the Mandrake expert list. http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux.htm also metions isdn4linux ( http://www.isdn4linux.de/ ). I have no idea if that would give you fax functonality. > Has anyone succeeded in installing a diva server (ISND) card & > software on Mandrake 10 ?? > Any suggestions for alternative software to use ?? (the idea is to > use the card to send outgoing faxes) http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux.htm mentions isdn4linux ( http://www.isdn4linux.de/ ). I have no idea if that would give you fax functionality. An external (not USB) modem for a normal telephone line is the easiest way to get sending faxes working. Just curious, is this for your workplace? > Thanks, > > Jamie HTH, -Frans
